Motel needs a makeover very dated. Bed was very uncomfortable.Most likely wouldnt book here again.
I swapped rooms from what I booked to help the motel out. Have not received a refund for the price difference of the room. Room was old, cold and run down, ceiling was falling apart. Photos on website do not match this room.
Very friendly and welcoming manager unit was very clean with everything you need and close proximity to shops and tourist attractions

We had a large spacious unit with full kitchen. Very clean. Looks to be recently renovated. Beds very comfortable. Double glazed windows so it was very quiet inside. Large new TV was great for a cold rainy night. Just out of the main centre and not far from Queens Park.
One thing I’d like the owners to know is that the dining furniture being tall, and the chairs and couch being saggy are a bit difficult for people with back hip or knee issues. If you don’t have those issues, hence my 3 stars for comfort.

I have stayed here before but on the other new side, so was expecting a similar unit to that not an old one.
Friendly helpful service and warm comfortable unit. Would definitely stay here again, we had a great time in Invercargill.
